SIGN    Episode 7
SIGN    Earth Challenges a Boss
[01:43] Earth
    Stun?!
[01:45] Earth
    Damn it!
[01:45] Earth
    I can't move! This isn't good...
[02:00] Earth
    As for how I found myself
    in this situation...
SIGN    Several Days Prior
[02:09] Earth
    After making myself a set of tools,
[02:11] Earth
    I spent my days going into the dungeon solo.
[02:15] Earth
    My goal, of course, was to improve my
    lockpicking and trap disarming skills.
[02:28] Earth
    Well, at first I messed up all the time,
[02:32] Earth
    and sometimes even got myself
    killed in the process.
[02:38] Earth
    But after a lot of practice,
    my thief skill finally reached level 50!
SIGN    Your Thief Skill has reached Lv50.
    You have unlocked the ability
    to specialize into either Superior Thief
    or Benevolent Thief. Which will you choose?
    
    Superior Thief / Benevolent Thief
[02:44] Earth
    Now I can evolve it into
    a higher ranked skill.
[02:47] Earth
    Hm...
[02:49] Earth
    Superior Thief is a more powerful version
    of thief that does mostly the same things.
[02:54] Earth
    And Benevolent Thief can...
[02:57] Earth
    steal from monsters...
[03:02] Earth
    or get a bonus while sneak attacking,
[03:04] Earth
    which are things a normal thief can't do.
[03:07] Earth
    It will require more EXP to evolve, however.
[03:13] Earth
    Benevolent Thief, definitely.
[03:15] Earth
    That sounds a lot more fun.
[03:21] Earth
    Red?
SIGN    Gang of Six Rangers
    One More Rangers
[03:27] Black
    At last, the time has come.
[03:29] Black
    Yah-wah-who-wha-wuh!
[03:32] Black
    Black is here!
[03:32] SIGN
    Black
[03:34] Black
    So, yeah, nice to meet you, Earth.
[03:40] Black
    Now, let us begin.
[03:41] Earth
    Sure thing.
[03:43] Black
    Oh, my! A new type of trap!
[03:48] Earth
    Wow, fascinating!
[03:51] Earth
    Look how clever this is! Wonderful!
[03:54] Black
    Indeed!
[03:56] Earth
    Look what happens if you try
    to pick it the normal way!
[03:56] Pink
    Hey, why are those two getting so
    excited over disarming a trap?
[04:00] Black
    Brilliant, Earth! You noticed the trick!
[04:01] Red
    I introduced them because
    I thought they'd get along,
[04:04] Red
    but I didn't expect them
    to get along so well.
[04:05] Earth
    Okay, now here...
[04:07] Earth
    Think we can do it?
[04:09] Black
    Indeed we can!
[04:19] Earth
    And at the same time, I kept
    going into the dungeon myself.
[04:25] Earth
    And as I disarmed more and more traps,
[04:27] Earth
    my success rate began to increase...
[04:32] Earth
    And my Benevolent Thief
    skill was increasing, too.
[04:37] Earth
    There was something else
    I noticed while I was down there.
[04:40] Earth
    How the monsters in the dungeon worked.
[04:44] Earth
    They seemed to be attracted to light.
[04:48] Earth
    And so...
[04:50] Earth
    I was able to use my Long-Distance Vision skill,
     which lets me see in the dark,
[04:53] Earth
    to drastically reduce the number
    of battles I had to fight.
[04:58] Earth
    Once I realized that, I was able
    to avoid unnecessary fights,
[05:03] Earth
    and go deeper into the dungeon.
[05:07] Earth
    And today, I reached the staircase
    to the next-to-last level on my own.
[05:19] Earth
    Now then, how much time do I have left?
SIGN    Time Remaining
[05:23] Earth
    Just over five minutes...
[05:27] Earth
    That's not a lot.
    There are liches on the 9th floor.
[05:31] Earth
    I have to take my time.
[05:34] Earth
    Well, I'll just have to
    see how far I can get.
[06:03] Earth
    That was close.
[06:05] (Flashback) Red
    Watch out for liches!
[06:07] (Flashback) Red
    Not only do they use status attacks,
    they'll also summon nearby monsters,
[06:11] (Flashback) Red
    which means big trouble!
[06:14] (Flashback) Earth
    That makes them really
    tough for solo players!
[06:17] Earth
    If I end up fighting that
    thing, I'm done for.
[06:20] Earth
    Gotta be careful!
SIGN    Time Remaining
[06:33] Earth
    What is this?
[06:38] Earth
    The staircase is right there!
[06:41] Earth
    I don't have time to disarm
    all these traps...
[06:45] Earth
    I guess I'll just have to go for it!
[06:53] Earth
    Ad Caelum!
[06:56] Earth
    Fly!
[07:04] Earth
    Just a little more!
[07:07] Earth
    Is this the end?
[07:09] Earth
    No, I'll go as far...
[07:14] Earth
    as I can!
[07:24] Earth
    It didn't kick me out of the dungeon?
[07:30] Earth
    The timer stopped?
[07:35] Earth
    What's going on here?
[07:37] Earth
    I'm still on the staircase...
[07:40] Earth
    Does this mean I'm regarded as
    having reached the last floor?
[07:45] Earth
    Well, whatever.
[07:49] Earth
    I've reached a place nobody else has.
[08:17] Andre
    Oh?
[08:19] Earth
    Who's there?
[08:20] Andre
    I didn't expect anyone to
    reach this place alone.
[08:26] Andre
    My name is Andre. I am a knight of the Empire.
[08:30] Andre
    Well, that was a long, long time ago.
[08:34] Andre
    This staircase is long.
[08:36] Andre
    Listen to my tale. It will give you something
    to think about on the long way down.
[08:43] Andre
    My nation ordered me to
    investigate this place,
[08:47] Andre
    the Labyrinth of the Departed,
    and seal it away.
[08:51] Andre
    I led a great army inside,
[08:54] Andre
    but the monsters and traps slew them all.
[08:59] Andre
    In the end, I was the last one left.
[09:01] Andre
    I journeyed through the labyrinth
    alone and reached the deepest room.
[09:10] Andre
    But...
[09:24] Andre
    There was nothing there.
[09:31] Andre
    Not even air to breathe.
[09:35] Andre
    I died there, and was transformed
    into a skeleton knight
[09:40] Andre
    that is forced to protect this dungeon.
[09:45] Earth
    You came to seal the labyrinth,
    and they turned you into its guardian?
[09:51] Earth
    Is this room still there?
[09:53] Andre
    No. I destroyed it.
[09:57] Andre
    I am the only one who will
    ever die from such a trap.
[10:02] Earth
    Even in death, he still tried
    to be a noble knight...
[10:05] Andre
    You'll find me waiting at
    the bottom of the stairs.
[10:10] Earth
    And what do you want me to do?
[10:13] Andre
    Kill me.
[10:17] Andre
    I have endured this long, refusing to let
    my heart become that of a monster, as well.
[10:20] Andre
    But I will not be able to
    keep that up much longer.
[10:23] Andre
    I am tired.
[10:27] Andre
    Please, let me be free...
[10:29] Andre
    To be with my men... my comrades.
[11:03] Earth
    A-Andre?
[11:12] Andre
    At last!
[11:13] Andre
    At last, you gave in, Andre!
[11:15] Andre
    This sword! This body!
[11:17] Andre
    They're all mine!
[11:29] Andre
    What the hell was that for?
[11:31] Earth
    Stop talking.
[11:33] Earth
    You're pissing me off.
[11:36] Andre
    How dare you, human?
[11:39] Andre
    I'll make you suffer before you die!
[11:47] Earth
    He traveled that distance
    in a single instant?
[11:55] Earth
    The fight's not over yet.
[11:59] Earth
    He's fast. And he hits hard!
[12:03] Andre
    Excellent. Just like I hoped!
[12:06] Andre
    You want to focus on defending? Very well!
[12:11] Andre
    Flames? How dare you?!
[12:15] Earth
    You think I'm just defending, huh?
[12:17] Earth
    I don't fight with a sword!
[12:19] Earth
    I'm not going to fight you head-on!
[12:22] Andre
    You aren't, huh?
[12:23] Andre
    Then...
[12:29] Earth
    Break Arms?
[12:36] Andre
    Your bow can't help you now.
[12:39] Andre
    This time, you're finished. Right, human?
[12:42] Andre
    Give it up.
[12:46] Earth
    I told you. It's not over yet.
[12:49] Andre
    What?
[12:51] Earth
    I've got more tricks in store.
[12:53] Earth
    You haven't won yet.
[12:59] Andre
    How fun.
[13:04] Earth
    But my Secret Another Bow isn't invincible.
[13:08] Earth
    It can only fire special arrows,
[13:10] Earth
    and I can't use any arts with it.
[13:12] Earth
    But it fires fast, and I can aim
    faster than with a big bow.
[13:15] Earth
    I'll fight not with power,
    but with quantity!
[13:19] Andre
    Stop moving around! You're making me mad!
[13:22] Andre
    Shield Charge!
[13:25] Earth
    What?
[13:26] Andre
    Shield Chaser!
[13:35] Earth
    Stun?!
[13:37] Earth
    Damn it!
[13:38] Earth
    I can't move! This isn't good...
[13:51] Andre
    I didn't expect I would
    have to use this art.
[13:57] Andre
    But this has gone on long enough.
[14:00] Andre
    I'll send you to the god you love so much.
[14:04] Earth
    To my god, you say?
[14:07] Andre
    Whenever something happens,
    you always pray to your god.
[14:10] Andre
    Because you love him so much, right?
[14:23] Andre
    Curse you!
[14:25] Earth
    There are no gods in this world!
[14:29] Earth
    The only thing you'll find in
    this place is the human will,
[14:32] Earth
    which struggles to survive,
     no matter how bad things get!
[14:36] Andre
    Then show me your will!
[14:40] Earth
    All right, I will!
[14:43] Earth
    Triangle Shot!
[14:47] Earth
    I use a diagonal kick after
    creating an illusion!
[14:55] Earth
    Fairies everywhere, hear my voice!
[14:59] Earth
    Grant my wish!
[15:01] Earth
    My prayers lie with the fairies!
[15:06] Earth
    With my great wish!
[15:08] Earth
    I make my wish unto the
    great ruler of the fairies.
[15:11] Earth
    I make my wish to their ruler.
[15:13] Earth
    I offer up a portion of my magic
    to the great ruler of the fairies,
[15:13] Andre
    Is that all you've got?
[15:14] Andre
    An incantation? He's using magic?
[15:17] Andre
    Give up and die already!
[15:18] Earth
    that she might empower my soul.
[15:20] Earth
    Grant me your great
    protection this one time.
[15:24] Earth
    Let that protection, and my magic,
[15:27] Earth
    become a strength that brings pain and
    despair unto the enemy before me.
[15:33] Andre
    Stop that spell!
[15:36] Earth
    May this incantation be my vow, and may
    I be granted the aid of the fairy queen,
[15:43] Earth
    that the glory and honor of this
    victory be offered up unto her!
[15:45] Andre
    I won't let you finish it!
[15:48] Andre
    There will be no miracles!
[15:55] Earth
    My name is Earth!
[15:57] Earth
    He who was granted this skill
    by the 87th Fairy Queen!
[16:05] Earth
    By the contract we swore, may a
    single miracle manifest before me.
[16:12] Earth
    My wish becomes a spell,
    a plea unto the Fairy Queen.
[16:17] Earth
    Grant my wish!
[16:24] Earth
    Annihilate my foe with true power!
[16:28] Earth
    Elder Prism Nova!
SIGN    Elder Prism Nova
[16:41] Earth
    I recited the whole incantation,
[16:43] Earth
    so it's the most powerful
    Prism Nova I can do...
[16:45] Earth
    Please, give me petrification
    or paralysis...
[16:47] Earth
    Something that will get me out of this!
[16:57] Andre
    You're going to pay for that, human!
[17:00] Earth
    No luck, huh?
[17:04] Earth
    What's this?
[17:07] Earth
    An illusion?
[17:09] Andre
    You!
[17:10] Andre
    That ring... are you his contract partner?
[17:14] Earth
    I see...
[17:16] Earth
    It's the effect of the ring!
[17:34] Earth
    Thanks, Queen!
[17:41] Earth
    Now, to finish this!
[17:44] Earth
    Wide Arrow!
[17:46] Earth
    Gatling Arrow!
[17:48] Earth
    Twin-Fanged Arrow!
[17:49] Earth
    Mirror Arrow!
[17:51] Earth
    Arrow Twister!
[17:54] Earth
    Now explode!
[18:09] Earth
    Did I get him?
[18:16] Andre
    Splendid.
[18:18] Andre
    Victory is yours.
[18:19] Earth
    Is that you, Andre?
[18:22] Andre
    Yup.
[18:24] Andre
    You defeated him before my soul disappeared.
[18:29] Andre
    You gave me a little time to thank you.
[18:34] Earth
    I see...
[18:36] Earth
    So I gave you what you wanted?
[18:40] Andre
    Yup.
[18:40] Andre
    You've given me even more than I hoped for!
[18:44] Andre
    I never thought I'd be able to meet
    my end as a human, not a monster!
[18:49] Earth
    You're so easygoing!
    Is that who you really are?
[18:51] Andre
    Sorry, sorry.
[18:52] Andre
    I was in a state of complete
    despair before we fought.
[18:55] Andre
    Honestly, I figured since you were
    playing solo, you didn't have a chance.
[18:59] Earth
    Sorry about that.
[19:06] Andre
    Anyway, it's time to go.
[19:10] Andre
    Thanks, really. For defeating me.
[19:14] Andre
    As a reward, you can have my sword.
SIGN    Knight Sword of an Ancient Knight
    Effect: Will break and disappear when used to attack something.
[19:18] Andre
    It's a mess, but if you sell it as an antique,
    it should be worth something.
[19:24] Earth
    Thanks, Andre.
[19:26] Earth
    I'll accept it.
[19:29] Andre
    You said that there is no god here.
[19:33] Andre
    But I think there is.
[19:36] Andre
    I was able to meet my end not
    as a monster, but as a human,
[19:40] Andre
    and my companions even came to get me.
[19:43] Andre
    Only God could bring me such luck.
[19:50] Andre
    I pray that God blesses the
    path you walk, as well.
[20:00] Earth
    Thanks, Andre.
[20:03] Earth
    Watch over me while you drink
    a nice glass or something.
[20:06] Earth
    If God is real, I'm sure he'll hook you up.
[20:15] GM
    We have an urgent announcement!
SIGN    Urgent Announcement
[20:21] GM
    One of the secret bosses of "A Challenge
    from the Departed" has been defeated.
[20:27] GM
    Its defeat has unlocked a new type
    of weapon, the Knight's Sword.
[20:33] GM
    A Knight's Sword is a superior
    version of a one-handed sword,
[20:36] GM
    with a long reach and a powerful attack.
[20:40] GM
    See the upcoming announcement on our
    official home page for more details!
[20:46] Earth
    So beating the dungeon
    unlocked a new weapon, huh?
[20:52] Earth
    She said "one of the secret bosses,"
[20:55] Earth
    which means there are probably
    more weapon unlocks to be found.
[21:03] Earth
    No luck, huh?
[21:05] Earth
    I can't repair either of them...
[21:08] Earth
    I guess I should've known.
[21:14] Earth
    Sorry. Thanks for everything
    you've done for me.
[21:22] Earth
    I turned my broken weapons
    into a new shield, but...
[21:30] Earth
    My bow and leather equipment are
    both a mess and need repairing.
[21:36] Earth
    This is gonna hurt my wallet.
[21:38] Earth
    But, well...
[21:44] Earth
    And so, my time spent fighting
    alone came to an end, for now.
[21:59] Dragon Princess
    It's finally my turn, huh?
[22:02] Dragon Princess
    I can't wait to see how they taste.
